I just wanted to take a moment to say how incredibly proud I am of all of our Hillsdale County participants at the State Horse Show! It was wonderful to see everyone work hard, support one another, and represent Hillsdale County so well. Whether your runs placed you or not, every participant should be proud of the hard work, dedication, and courage it took to make it there and compete.

We had two of our participants, Preslee and Lillie receive Sportsmanship Awards! What a true reflection of the character of our youth.

I was happy to see our Hillsdale County volunteers step up and lend a hand when help was needed. That kind of teamwork and willingness is what makes our program so special.

Congratulations to all of our participants, families, volunteers, and leaders. You represented Hillsdale County with pride! 🐴♥️
